Weldon Davis Poems

I make you smile
The reasons why
Uncertain
...

In addiction
I lost a lot of old friends to recovery
I was stuck on the same
Principles
...

They send our boys
To die like dogs
In the Arabian swelter
Picking out roadside bombs
...

Oldies station plays a
Love song although I wasn't there when
Disco died
...

All the pain
All the struggle
All the late nights
I stayed awake
...

There is a sadness in my eyes
I need not explain
A lonesome whistle blows in the background
A midnight train
...

A friend of mine said today
That while in jail
All he needed was to
Be with his girlfriend
...

Like weasels they snicker
In dark corners
They laugh at the idealists
The poets
...

These words mean nothing
The pain it grips
I just wanna feel something
So I let em rip
...

We used to go there as kids
To explore
To jump dirt hills on our bicycles
To wage mock wars
...
